Revenue Composition
The portion of revenues generated from franchised restaurants has shown a gradual increase, rising from approximately 55.32% in early 2020 to fluctuating around 60-62% in 2024 and early 2025. Conversely, sales from company-owned and operated restaurants have decreased from nearly 43% in early 2020 to the mid-30% range by 2025, indicating a strategic shift towards franchised operations. Other revenues have remained relatively low but show a slight upward trend from around 1.7% to nearly 2.7% by early 2025.
Expense Trends
Franchised restaurants' occupancy expenses as a percentage of revenues declined from a high of nearly -13.94% in mid-2020 to fluctuate around -9.4% to -10.4% in 2024 and 2025, indicating improved cost control or operational efficiencies in franchise-related occupancy expenses. Expenses associated with company-owned restaurants decreased substantially from a peak near -38.5% to levels around -31% by 2025, reflecting either improved cost management or a reduction in company-operated units. Other restaurant expenses remain low but exhibit some volatility, ending higher at approximately -2.35% by early 2025, suggesting an increase in miscellaneous operational costs.
Gross Margin and Operating Expenses
Gross margin expressed as a percentage of revenues improved significantly from a low near 45.87% to values consistently above 55% in recent periods, suggesting enhanced profitability at the gross level. Depreciation and amortization have remained stable around -1.4% to -1.8%, with slight increases toward the end of the period, which may reflect ongoing capital expenditures. Selling, general, and administrative expenses show a reducing trend from highs above -17% to a more controlled range around -9% to -12%, contributing positively to operating profitability.
Operating Income
Operating income as a percentage of revenues showed considerable fluctuation, with a notable dip in mid-2020 to about 25.55%, likely due to pandemic-related impacts, but subsequently recovered to near 45-48% levels during 2021 and maintained those levels with some variation through 2024 and early 2025. This recovery and stability indicate strong operational control and profitability.
Interest and Nonoperating Items
Interest expense remained relatively stable, mostly hovering between -4.7% and -6.3%, indicating consistent debt servicing costs relative to revenues. Nonoperating income or expenses displayed volatility, including a significant negative outlier around -8.54% in early 2022, but generally returned to near neutral or modest positive values, suggesting occasional nonrecurring impacts on income unrelated to core operations.
Profitability
Income before tax experienced sharp declines in mid-2020 but otherwise trended upward, reaching above 40% of revenues in several quarters during 2021 and remaining robust around 39-41% in 2024 and 2025. The provision for income taxes showed variability, sometimes decreasing sharply, possibly due to tax planning or adjustments. Net income followed a similar pattern to pre-tax income, recovering from a dip in 2020 to sustain levels above 30% of revenues in most recent periods, indicating solid bottom-line performance.
